Weather turned warmer overnight with all the changes in the 6-10 reversing. Both the Euro Ensemble and GFS Ensemble show a similar weather pattern over the next 15 days, where we hover slightly warmer than the 10Y normal, and than slightly cooler past day 5. The current forecast for March sits right between the 10Y and 30Y normal, and similar to 2009. Last March was considerably warmer with almost 100 fewer GWHDDs.
